A message to clients in the dashboard widget received from another site

I would like to display various notifications on the dashboard of client sites. This is not a list of posts, just a message. The message itself is located on my main site. That is, I change the messages on my site and it is displayed accordingly in the dashboard widget on client sites.

Now I do this by adding a widget with an iframe. But this seems to me a bad decision. In addition, the fixed height in the iframe is a big hindrance.

iframe src=https://example.com/dash_widget/ width=100% height=250px/iframe

Tell me, please, is there any more reliable design for the implementation of this task? Maybe someone has already done this.

No, iframe is not a good desicion. The best option is creating a custom api. Wordpress has a REST API with the ability to add custom endpoints:

If you're familiar enoigh with coding, you can create a custom api that shows the message that you want and in the client site, write a code for the dashboard widget to get the code.
